Highway Gallery

Louvre Abu Dhabi

TBWA\RAAD Dubai

Overview

For U.A.E. Innovation month, Louvre Abu Dhabi – the first universal museum in the Arab region – gave the world another exciting first: a radio-guided highway gallery along the Sheikh Zayed Road.

While en route from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, drivers had the extraordinary opportunity to journey through the museum’s masterpieces like never before: The idea is to use billboards to showcase 10 major works alongside the EE/11 Sheikh Zayed highway, which goes from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and supports over 12,000 commuters daily.

The “world’s first and only radio-guided highway gallery” stretches across about 62 miles of road. Upon approaching the billboards, drivers tuned to 100.5 FM, 91.6 FM or 95.8 FM will find their music interrupted by a museum audio guide—whose crystal-clear sound is reinforced by an FM jammer powered by solar panels.

As the first museum of its kind in the Middle East, Louvre Abu Dhabi represents a new perspective of art’s universal accessibility and power to move and connect. With the launch of Louvre Abu Dhabi Highway Gallery, the museum aims to communicate that art can, and should, be enjoyed and explored by all.

To overcome the difficulty of grabbing people’s attention at traditional shopper marketing points and reinforce its “Dirt is Good” brand purpose, OMO Detergent – a Unilever product and an advocate of an active lifestyle for kids and grown-ups – decided to disrupt in-store sampling, moving away from supermarkets and taking its product to people’s clothes, before they go out and get dirty.
